  Kids in the United States are beginning to speak with an unmistakable Australian twang after tuning in to Bluey, a series that follows a lovable family of blue heelers.

  The cartoon has become wildly popular in the US after premiering on the Disney Channel, Disney Junior and Disney+ in September, 2019.   

  Last year The New York Times described the show as 'the biggest Australian export since The Wiggles' - the country's most famous children's band.

  The cartoon stays true to its true-blue roots and is packed with 'g'day' greetings and unmistakably Aussie phrases like 'show us your thongs, muffin!' 

  Jason Manganella, a Massachusetts-based real estate agent and father, said his young daughter had started to incorporate Australian words into her vocabulary after becoming huge fans of Bluey.  

  Mr Manganella said even his four-year-old daughter quickly understood the cartoon's unique Aussie phrases, and had started calling breakfast 'brekky'.  

  'A few terms that would be Australian slang have been picked up by my daughter,' he told ABC Breakfast.

  'She also tells me every once in a while that she needs to go to the dunny.' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9814241/Popular-cartoon-Bluey-American-kids-speaking-Aussie-accents-calling-toilet-dunny.html
